Theophile Nael celebrated his second F3 Pole position in a row, this time around the historic streets of Monaco.
Theophile Nael celebrated his second consecutive Formula 3 Pole position at the historic Monaco GP. Racing in Monaco presents unique challenges compared to Melbourne, with its narrow streets and unforgiving walls testing drivers’ skills and bravery. Nael had a slight mishap clipping a wall but managed to secure his final pole position lap.
Nael switched to Campos Racing for his second F3 season, showing improved performance with back-to-back pole positions. Pole at Monaco, renowned for its difficulty in overtaking, was particularly gratifying for Nael. The French driver acknowledged the importance of the Sprint Race for learning tyre degradation ahead of Sunday’s main event.
Qualifying at Monaco differs from Formula 1, with more cars on the grid and split sessions, posing additional challenges. Despite these differences, Nael approaches all qualifying sessions with the same focus on delivering a perfect lap. Having triumphed at the Macau Grand Prix, known for its treacherous street circuit akin to Monaco, Nael is no stranger to success on street circuits.
